Just a fun SkyView screen shot that we ended up with quite accidentally while doing some 3.0 testing. Your typical SkyView system would have topographic terrain displayed behind this. This shot omits the terrain for effect (but it's a good one, no?)

First, you'll notice the G-meter replaces the HSI when it's displayed. This lets us make it huge and easily visible - important when you're doing aerobatics - which is hopefully what you're up to if you're using the G-meter. We've made an assumption that you don't care about seeing your full HSI while pulling G's. Magnetic heading always remains visible numerically though.

The current instantaneous G loading is displayed both with an analog needle and a big bold number in the center of the gauge. Resettable Min/Max Gs are also flank the instantaneous value.

The G-meter can be toggled on and off manually, or it can be set to pop up on G thresholds that you set.
